Virtual Patients, Virtual Labs, Virtual Simulation from Virtually Anywhere

After the COVID 19 shutdown, our students lost the opportunity to meet in person to complete their lab and clinical skills requirements; our state-of-the-art sim labs sat empty and dark. Students were forced to delay their graduation, and we vowed to find a way to make sure that if this happens again, we will be better prepared to support those hands on skills for which solutions were lacking.
